Burnt Bridge Creek Trail

not safe after dark

May, 2022 by scott.nordeen

There's a huge homeless encampment between Meadow Brook Marsh Park and Meadow Homes Park on the east side. You're riding along then it's like a state park campground with dozens of tents in the meadow. Please clean this up as I didn't feel safe towards evening with the type of activities going on. What a waste of a beautiful trails and a slap to taxpayers. I wouldn't think of taking my kids through here. What a shame because it's one of the nicest trails in the area.

Cowiche Canyon Trail

Neat little trail

May, 2022 by jaredavey

Had a nice walk today, I really liked the cleanliness of the trail and the rock features. There was also a path you could take to a local winery which I saw a few people coming down from. Saw several critters, birds, and even a fairly large baby bullsnake on the path. He was as startled by me as I was by him LOL. Not too hard of a trail, and the 9 bridges were a nice added touch.

Spokane Iron Bridge

You can ride from centennial trail to this bridge to cross the river and continue on to make a connection to the Ben Burr trail. This is also a nice detour around the construction of the bridge going on just south of here.

Cascade Trail

Nice surprise ride out of concrete

May, 2022 by ynzwncyxv8

We did not know that this trail was there and were in concrete. We ping the bird view diner but did not want to take the main road on our bikes. To our pleasant surprise we found this trail. It is a well maintained gravel path. Only issue we hit was a bit where it had washed out but there were planks just off the trail for us to cross on our bikes. Planning to do the full length in the future.

Interurban Trail (North)

You can't walk the maple road part of the trail, you will be too close to traffic on the bridge. You should only go on a bike for this part.

Yelm-Tenino Trail

Spring 2022

April, 2022 by chloesgrandma

Rode the trail last weekend. There are a few spots that it is pretty rough so watch for bumps. Got hissed at by a wild goose towards Tenino. She got us on the way back too!

Whitehorse Trail

Whitehorse Trail-Heads Up!!

April, 2022 by madronameadows

The trail is closed from a wash out starting in Arlington. We parked in the first designated parking area 11 miles East of Arlington. We headed West towards Arlington to see where it was closed and why. Shortly after starting out we came to an intersection of a county road just before the first highway crossing. We were greeted by a BIG white-possibly Pyrenees Dog which came after us barking, growling and snapping at our legs. The rest of our ride way uneventful but we had to pass the area with the dog to get back to our car. We luckily have electric bikes and when we came back to the area the dog was standing in the middle of the trail. We used our power assist to speed past the dog which came after us but couldn't keep up.

Interurban Trail (South)

Real Beauty

April, 2022 by sarahjoysmith123

I like this trail a lot. Not too congested and kept up fairly well. My only warning is a specific raised railroad crossing that was bumpy enough to knock my bike chain loose. I’ll be returning as the weather keep getting nicer.

SR 520 Trail

Very nice

March, 2022 by gerald.hawkins

This is a very nice trail. Be aware of a few things: Steel connector plates at fairly regular intervals make a jarring bump. On very nice days, the trail can be crowded and you have to keep speed down. The trail is loud, right next to traffic lanes with a “Jersey barrier” separating bikes from cars. Strong cross winds can make this trip unpleasant during bad weather. And although the bridge seems very flat from a car, there are actually modest climbs at each end. The trail connects nicely to the Lake Washington trail, but the Montlake Bridge crossing to UW and the Burke-Gilman trail is tight. The connection toward Lake Union is difficult to locate and can be unusable.

Cross Kirkland Corridor

Excellent

March, 2022 by gerald.hawkins

This is a wonderful trail. The southern end is a little vague for access. Around Totem Lake, the trail is under construction (2020-2022 or ?) and a bypass is necessary. The northern end of the trail also does not connect well into other trails, ending a couple of miles from the Sammamish River Trail, but the busy & fast NE 124th connects the two with a good bike lane.

Burke-Gilman Trail

Great trail with a couple glitches

March, 2022 by gerald.hawkins

The Burke-Gilman Trail is excellent and was important in creating the concept of Rails to Trails. The trail is all good but could be better in spots. The trail is missing a section between Ballard and the UW. Don’t expect to find a parking space in Ballard. Between UW and Bothell, the trail is very good except that in many places the bumps (from roots) and cracks in the pavement are excessive. In Bothell, the Burke-Gilman transitions directly into the Sammamish River Trail, which goes to Woodinville and Redmond. One of the most convenient parking areas for the Burke-Gilman Trail is actually the Wilmot Gateway Park on the Sammamish River Trail. One wish (besides fixing bumps) is that there was a convenient place to charge ebikes on the trail.

Snohomish County Centennial Trail

Excellent trail, great conditions

March, 2022 by gerald.hawkins

I rode the entire trail, up and back. The surface of the trail is nearly all in excellent shape. The grades are mild and none are very long. The street crossings in Snohomish are mostly very easy. Further up, in Arlington, the street crossings are not quite as safe. The trail has plenty of places to stop and restrooms at key locations. The trail passes through some very pretty forest and farm country. There are markets and coffee shops in two or three places. There are several excellent places for a lunch stop. I spotted eagles twice. To avoid the traffic on the Snohomish end, consider parking at Machias Road access (Three Lakes exit from Highway 2). Going up and back from Machias or Pilchuck parking areas gives approximately 50 miles up and back instead of 61.
